Skywatcher Evolux 62ED Apochromatic Refractor complete with reducer

Sky-Watcher Evolux 62 ED optical tube complete with focal reducer

Sky-Watcher Evolux 62ED optical tube, an all-new product that follows the successful Evostar ED series, but brings with it a small revolution in the world of astronomy and astrophotography.

The new Evolux ED series is distinguished by its new design, notable mechanical improvements, and unparalleled compactness, without sacrificing the optical qualities typical of the Evostar ED apochromatic refractors that inspired this new series.

The use of a new 2.4" (61mm) focuser ensures a significantly higher load capacity compared to the Evostar ED series telescopes, providing greater stability and precision during focusing operations.

The retractable dew shield and the collar connected directly to the tube and the Vixen-style dovetail bar make the Evolux ED series the most compact of all the refracting telescopes in the Sky-Watcher catalog. The feeling is that of holding a solid, compact product with refined finishes characterized by the green livery that has now become a consolidated hallmark of Sky-Watcher products.

The optical qualities are guaranteed by the decade-long experience of the Sky-Watcher brand and the undisputed success of the Evostar ED and Esprit APO series, from which this new line of optical tubes draws inspiration. However, the type of ED low-dispersion glass used is completely different from existing series, and it was therefore necessary to revolutionize the optical design, particularly the lens curvatures and form factors. The optical coatings are the same as those now established in Sky-Watcher production.

The native focal length of 400mm and the relative focal ratio of f/6.4 make the Evolux 62ED an already versatile and fast instrument, especially for astrophotography. The ability to reduce the focal length to 360mm with the dedicated reducer and flattener allows for a further reduction of the focal ratio to an impressive f/5.5, making the Evolux 62ED a very fast instrument characterized by a flat field, thus ensuring pinpoint stars to the edges of your camera sensor.

On the collar, there are two mini-Vixen attachments, ideal for connecting both a finder scope and a possible parallel guide scope to the optical tube. Since these are positioned directly on the collar, the instrument's balance will always be guaranteed.
